Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnton Yarkov is a Principal Software Engineering Manager based in Barcelona with 13 years of hands-on experience and over 15 years in software craft, currently driving Rust adoption and AI-driven reliability improvements for Microsoft Edge. He blends low-level systems expertise (Rust, C++, C#) with cloud-native design on AWS and Azure, and has led platform strategy as Chief Platform Officer while scaling engineering organizations to deliver resilient banking and trading systems. Anton has a strong track record of lifting code quality—raising test coverage, instituting static analysis, and reducing production incidents—while architecting hundreds of third-party integrations and security flows (SAML, OAuth). Equally comfortable in code and leadership, he rebuilt a 100-person organization into efficient agile teams and mentors engineers on secure, performant designs. A background in information security and early work porting ESRI geocoding to multiple platforms underline his knack for pragmatic cross-platform engineering.
